Furniture makers are jumping on the ‘green’ bandwagon

Furniture makers are jumping on the “green” bandwagon with new lines of eco-friendly home furnishings this summer and fall.

Pieces made from natural, renewable resources were the hottest trend at this spring’s High Point Market in North Carolina, according to the American Home Furnishings Alliance.

Among the offerings were funky recycled furniture from Groovystuff (indoor and outdoor items crafted from salvaged farm plows, rice barrels and antique wagon wheels); dye-light “Natural Grounds” wool rugs from Company C; and The Natural Light lighting collections, made of sustainable materials and packed in recyclable materials instead of packing “peanuts.”

To learn more about the availability of environmentally conscious home furnishings, ask your local furniture dealer, or go to www.findyourfurniture.com and click on “Furniture Finder.”
